The fact that Ijeh had a bad debut does not mean he should never be capped again. When was the last time Kanu and Enyeama had a good game for Nigeria? ....yet they still get picked.

The "third rate" Swedish league is the league that produced Henrik Larsson, Fredrik Ljungberg, Patrik Andersson....and all the other Swedish players that beat Nigeria (including all their players playing in "first rate" leagues) at the world cup in 2002.

...Ijeh returned from injury and came back all gund blazing. He continued his prolific scoring and got a transfer to IFK Gothenburg (which is Sweden's most succesful team historically).

Why Does Wenger Make Such a Fuss About Releasing Kanu?

...for international fixtures even though Kanu hardly ever plays?! I mean its not as if Kanu is Arsenal's star player! I could understand Wenger's reluctance to release a key player like Henry or Vieira but why does he always refuse to release Kanu till the last minute even though Kanu is just a fri...

they've been champs for the past 3 seasons but this is getting ridiculous! I mean can you imagine players from Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool turning up at Man U's pre-season training just because Man U are the champs?!

Its a Travesty That Ijeh Is Not In Faro

I cannot understand how a player with Ijeh's goalscoring record cannot make it into the camp at Faro.....while players that are not fit to lace up his boots (Enyeama, Ogbeche, Ezenwa, Akwuegbu) are there.

Waffiman, I am not coming out with conspiracy theories....just pointing out that Aghahowa was 13 when he first started playing pro football...and that Yakubu was 17 years old in 2000.

Gotti i am surprised that "Aiyegbeni is listed as being born in 1981", since he was billed as a "nineteen year old" when he was signed by Portsmouth. Also he was "17 years old" when he played in the Sydney 2000 Olympics... so if he is 23 now.....does that mean he has ag...

YAKUBU USED TO BE A PAINTER!

...given that he is now "twenty years old"....he must have started painting young...... note also that Aghahowa was signed in 1996....given that he was 17 years old in 2000....I guess he must have been only 13 years old back in 1996. http://www.vanguardngr.com/articles/2002/sports/sp505012...

Just be rest assured that the NFA considers this a very important matter. We may see a few things happen over the next few days once Ogunjobi gets back from Senegal tomorrow. ...will the "few things" happening include calling up Murphy Akanji and dropping Enyeama? If not, we are in trouble!
